I once saw a black and white photograph of the ultra-thin model Twiggy eating what appeared to be a plate of batter-dipped fish and French fries.
And it provoked something.
It had to do with the trigger-rife connection involving her thin physique and disordered food and body image concerns.
Twiggy (real name, Lesley Lawson) was world-famous for her look, one that showcased a boyish, thin body, short hair, and large eyes that were further accentuated by painted-on eyelashes.
Named “The face of 1966” by The Daily Express, she took the 1960’s British Mod Scene and the fashion world by storm.

I never thought she was that good looking anyways.
Jeez, glad I haven’t watched TV in almost 10 years!
I have friends that can eat like a horse and not gain an ounce. Others that drive by a McDonalds and they gain 10 lbs.
If you love yours, someone else will love yours also.
This doesn’t mean stuff yourself and claim “I’ve got big bones”.
The good Lord made all kinds of body types.
Take care of what the Lord gave you.
To each his own. I’d rather have a nice soft woman to snuggle with than one who looks like an 11-year-old boy. She was the first of the gay man dominated fashion scene of using women who looked like their hairless 11-year-old boy fantasies as models.
I have sat in hospitals for two of my four who were compromised with it. One in o2 for seven days.
I am not sure I would vaccinate but it is a real thing for little babies and compromised children. Been around for years, but it became tested and diagnosed in the 80s90s before I imagine that they were just hospitalized with the flu.
Not out of nowhere. Always understood that it was a simple virus for healthy older children and adults that bottomed out as a cold and congestion.
I imagine that it could become the disease that could become old mans friend for the debilitated ill elderly.
the out of nowhere I think would be the marketing of the vaxx.
Big eyes, I keep fallin' for those big eyes...
the Twiggy/Elwood scene is Gold, Jerry !
Suzie Parker and Audrey Hepburn are two boy figured models popular in the 50s.
And gay men have always been part of the fashion and art scene.
Could it be that” smoking hot” ..
is a liddle (quite) bit exaggeration?
That scene was ‘smokin’ hot, but not necessisarily Twig, get it ?
Meanwhile we hear so much about food insecurity...probably a fake issue to coax tax money for people who don’t want to work.
In all my times and travels I have never seen someone in the U.S. or Canada or the parts of Mexico I have been to,even look hungry. Even the women who used to sit on blankets, holding infants, on the tourist pedestrian bridge in Tijuana, were decently fed.
Fertile corpulent women were attractive in the days of scarce food. They could use all their mass to easily support a babies gestation.
Now, corpulence indicates early onset of high blood pressure, diabetes, joint pain. and heart disease in the post 30 years age group.
From wikipedia
Twiggy married American actor Michael Witney in 1977. Their daughter, Carly, was born in 1978.[19] They remained married until his death in 1983 from a heart attack.[57]
She met Leigh Lawson in 1984.[3] In 1988, they worked on the film Madame Sousatzka and married that year in Sag Harbor, New York (on Long Island). The couple reside in Kensington, London[58] and own a home in Southwold, Suffolk.[59][60]
Thanks for unearthing the facts. Leslie my be one of those exceptions to the rule: In spite of becoming internationally famous at an early age, she has, apparently, been able to remain grounded and have a full family life in private.
I’ve never seen her ‘doing a Madonna’, or trying to look and act 21, at age 51. My older sisters were fully into fashion during that time, and , like many of that time, sewed much their own clothing from Butterick patterns. So I heard a lot about it.
She’s from way before my time, but I remember a Benny Hill skit where he said “legs like Twiggy”
